Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In which Disney-Pixar feature-length motion picture do Mike and Sully go to college?

Answer: Monsters University

The talents of Billy Crystal (Mike), John Goodman (Sully), Steve Buscemi, John Ratzenberger and Bonnie Hunt combine in voicing this 2013 film -- a sequel (prequel, actually) to "Monsters, Inc." (2001). Randy Newman composed the score. Michael "Mike" Wazowski matriculates at Monsters University in order to become a scarer.

He meets first-year scare major James P. "Sulley" Sullivan and they become competitors and friends. Adventures ensue.
2. The principal of the high school attended by Buffy Summers said "There's only one rule. If they move, kill them." What was the name of the school?

Answer: Sunnydale High

On "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" there were three different principals: Principal Robert Flutie until his death in 1997, Principal Snyder until the school's destruction in 1999, and Principal Robin Wood until it was destroyed again in 2003. An entrance to Hell called the Hellmouth was located in the school's basement.
3. P.G. Wodehouse (the fellow who invented Jeeves and Wooster) wrote a series of short stories and essays about which boys public school, set at the turn of the century?

Answer: St. Austin's

All of the stories in "The Tales of Saint Austin's" were first published in the British boys magazines "The Captain" and "Public School Magazine". They involve cricket, rugby, boys getting into and out of trouble, and the affair involving the European, African, and Asiatic Pork Pie and Ham Sandwich Supply Company.
4. The NBC sitcom "3rd Rock from the Sun" (1996-2001) was set at and around which American institution of higher learning?

Answer: Pendelton State University

"Third Rock" is set at Pendleton State University in Rutherford, Ohio, where four extraterrestrials pose as college professors in order to study human beings. John Lithgow plays Dr. Dick Solomon, a physics professor, and Jane Curtin plays Dr. Mary Albright, an anthropology professor. The college sits atop a reclaimed uranium mine and is in constant disrepair.
5. In Terry Pratchett's "Discworld", what is the name of the institution of higher learning located in Ankh-Morpork and staffed by aged wizards?

Answer: The Unseen University

The Unseen University (UU) is located on the turnwise side of Ankh, hubwards of the Isle of Gods. The campus changes shape continuously; the inside is much larger than the outside. The school's official motto is "Nunc Id Vides, Nunc Ne Vides", which could be translated "Now you see it, now you don't." Wizardry is the principal subject taught or, perhaps, the only one.
6. The Walt Disney hit television series "Recess" (1997-2003) was set in which American elementary school?

Answer: Third Street Elementary

Third Street Elementary School was named after both the avenue on which it was located and the person after whom the street was named: Thaddeus T. Third III. The six-season television programme and the four movies based on it followed the adventures of six students, their classmate and teachers. The town and state in which the school are located is not revealed but there are arguments which can be made for Little Rock, Arkansas, Los Angeles, California, Belvidere, New Jersey and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
7. Chevy Chase is well known from "Saturday Night Live" and a series of "National Lampoon" movies. On what TV series (2009-2015) did he play student Pierce Hawthorne?

Answer: Community

The successful TV series "Community" was set at Greendale Community College in fictional Greendale, Colorado. Chase plays a millionaire who enrolls to alleviate boredom. The school mascot is the "Greendale Human Being" named so as to offend no one. Students transferring their two-year degree to a four-year institution are honoured at the annual "Tranny Dance" at which the "Tranny Queen" is crowned.
8. On "Futurama," what is the university at which Professor Farnsworth teaches the Mathematics of Quantum Neutrino Fields?

Answer: Mars University

Introduced in its own episode of the first season of "Futurama," Mars University was founded in 2636 and lives by its motto "A Giant Pulsating Mind is a Terrible Thing to Waste." Wong Library holds the largest library collection in the western universe: two optical disks labeled "Fiction" and "Non-Fiction" respectively.

The entire episode is a shameless rip-off (homage) of/to the film "Animal House." The school reappears in seasons 2, 3, 6 and 7.
9. Where did the twins, Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield, go to school after they were graduated from Sweet Valley High?

Answer: Sweet Valley University

In Francine Pascal's series of YA novels for girls, the twins leave Sweet Valley High (after the "Senior Year" subseries) and enter Sweet Valley University. The SVU subseries relates their freshman and sophomore years. This required 63 novels.
10. Where is the 1982 movie "An Officer and a Gentleman" set?

Answer: Fort Rainier Naval Air Station

The events depicted in "An Officer and a Gentleman" occur in and around the Aviation Officer Candidate School at the Fort Rainier Naval Air Station. Historic Fort Warden, a Coast Artillery base near Port Townsend, Washington, on the Olympic Peninsula, served for the fictional naval air station. Some of the footage involving big ships was shot at the Bremerton Naval Station nearby.
